Would you be willing to pay $100 for an updated Classic AmigaOS? What features would you request for it to implement, enhance or bugfix? (Please do avoid senseless crap about DVD players for a poor 68k cpu, be realistic about what you can actually expect).
For example, in my case i would defintely pay $100 for the following integrated AmigaOS enhancements:
-DHCP support on a TCP-IP stack
-A CSS capable web browser that works on AGA/RTG
-A decent file decompression program WITH FILE COMPRESSION support
-An updated easier to use HDToolbox program
-A video player that supports FLV, WMV, MPG, QT and AVI, much like RiVA did with MPG, supporting both AGA and RTG
-A decent CD/DVD filesystem handler that supportd UDF, Multisessions, Dual layer DVDs
-An integrated CD/DVD burner application
-New Filesystems support: NTFS(Win7), HFS(Mac), ext4(linux) and one for efficient flash storage
-New and highly optimized BMP, PNG and TIFF datatypes
-A fully working version of MUI or an AROS optimized zune port
Thats it
Hi,
I would pay $100 for an updated OS for the Classic Amiga, but only if they made it for the Classic Amiga, not that PPC processor type, face it PPC is dead, the only way Amiga is going to move forward is to pick a cheap usable computer system like a PC and build a new Amiga OS that works on a PC, I would include Apple, but I hate Apple computers. Why make an Amiga OS for a PC, because I believe that the Amiga OS is one of the few OS's where you know what is going on, you know what is in your startup sequence, devs, libs, etc. so it is harder for these morons to infiterate your computer and add stuff like malware, spyware, trackers, etc. so why would I want an updated OS for the classic Amiga, it would be nice to have an updated web browser, auto install DHCP etc. but in most my views the Classic Amiga is a dead unit, there is no way to get software developers interested in a machine that is this old, so we need to think of not only a new OS but a machine that is upgradeable so that software developers might take an interest in the new Amiga.
